[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Less affluent, my arse! Try, we'll take all the money you'll give us and we won't have anything to show for it because you're so stupid, you just want to sleep well at night and give yourself some kind of illusion that you're doing the best for you kids. You are misinformed and lazy. [/quote]

Living in the least affluent part of McLean hardly means you are in the poor-house, any more than having your child attend the elementary school with some of the lowest test scores in McLean does not mean your child will turn out to be illiterate.

To measure the relative affluence of the different McLean school districts, our research team looked at the number of single-family houses that have sold since 2009 for $800,000 or less (well below the average value of a house in McLean).  Not surprisingly, Kent Gardens had the most homes in this category among the seven schools you so frequently compare:

1.  Kent Gardens
2.  Haycock
3.  Churchill Road
4.  Chesterbrook
5.  Franklin Sherman
6.  Great Falls
7.  Spring Hill

Here's a thought:  if you think Kent Gardens students are under-performing, volunteer at the school and stop worrying about how it compares to Spring Hill.  It's quite unlikely that people in Spring Hill spend much time comparing themselves to you.

That would be great, but you've got to provide the data sources.  We can't just take your word for it.  Additionally, 50% of the students at KGES come from outside our boundaries, from places like Haycock, Springill, Chesterbrook, etc. Only half of your numbers apply if those are good numbers to begin with. If you review the Spring Hill scores specifically, they have progressed from a lower peforming school to one of the highest performing schools thanks to the new Principal they have who has been willing to work and improve the school. It again makes the case that we need new management at KGES and we could be doing much better if we had the change in management that our kids deserve.

Obviously, you are in realestate and you want to sell homes to people who would have to go to KGES and you don't want them to know there are much better schools to attend in McLean. I hope you will help support the change we need so that people will want to live here because they KNOW it is a good place to live and not because people have LIED to them or buried the TRUTH.[/quote]
